Question

Reduce the equation 3x + 4y = 5 into slope intercept form and find its slope.

Answer 1

Given equation is

3x + 4y = 5

Here, m = – \(\frac{A}{B}\) = − \(\frac{3}{4}\).

And the slope intercept form is

y = − \(\frac{A}{B}\)x − \(\frac{C}{B}\)

⇒ y = − \(\frac{3}{4}\)x − \(\frac{5}{4}\).
